We study the asymptotic behaviour of the number of self-intersections of a trajectory of a periodic planar Lorentz process with strictly convex obstacles and finite horizon. We give precise estimates for its expectation and its variance. As…
In this paper, we study a class of orthogonal polynomials defined by a three-term recurrence relation with periodic coefficients. We derive explicit formulas for the generating function, the associated continued fraction, the orthogonality…
We introduce two explicit examples of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. Moments and the reflection coefficients are expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. We find explicit expression for these polynomials in terms of a…
We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions for an arbitrary polynomial of degree $n$ to be trivial, i.e. to have the form $a(z-b)^n$. These results are related to an open problem, conjectured in 2001 by E. Casas- Alvero. It says,…
The Hard Lefschetz theorem is known to hold for the intersection cohomology of the toric variety associated to a rational convex polytope. One can construct the intersection cohomology combinatorially from the polytope, hence it is well…
Present article deals with trajectorial intersections in linear fractional systems ('systems'). We propose a classification of intersections of trajectories in three classes viz. trajectories intersecting at same time(EIST), trajectories…
It is proved that for every complex quadratic polynomial $f$ with Cremer's fixed point $z_0$ (or periodic orbit) for every $\delta>0$, there is at most one periodic orbit of minimal period $n$ for all $n$ large enough, entirely in the disc…
The Collatz conjecture implies that an iterated function sequence under a certain linear operator, beginning with a certain complex valued function, must converge to a certain complex function.
This is both an expository and research paper where we advocate a systematic study of continuous analogues of finite partially ordered sets, convex polytopes, oriented matroids, arrangements of subspaces, finite simplicial complexes, and…
We provide various counter-examples to the long-standing so-called "Omnibus Conjecture" in Rational Homotopy Theory. That is, we show that a space with finite dimensional even-degree rational cohomology and finite dimensional spherical…
We present a structure theorem for the multiple non-cyclotomic irreducible factors appearing in the family of all univariate polynomials with a given set of coefficients and varying exponents. Roughly speaking, this result shows that the…
We discuss generalizations of some results on lattice polygons to certain piecewise linear loops which may have a self-intersection but have vertices in the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We first prove a formula on the rotation number of a…
We introduce different notions of polynomial convexity with bounds on degrees of polynomials in $\mathbb C^n$. We provide some examples in higher dimensions and show necessary and sufficient conditions for polynomial convexity with degree…
We study two notions. One is that of spindle convexity. A set of circumradius not greater than one is spindle convex if, for any pair of its points, it contains every short circular arc of radius at least one, connecting them. The other…
We present a generalization of multiple orthogonal polynomials of type I and type II, which we call multiple orthogonal polynomials of mixed type. Some basic properties are formulated, and a Riemann-Hilbert problem for the multiple…
Nekrashevych conjectured that the iterated monodromy groups of quadratic polynomials with preperiodic critical orbit have intermediate growth. We illustrate some of the difficulties that arise in attacking this conjecture and prove…
We show that the infinite matroid intersection conjecture of Nash-Williams implies the infinite Menger theorem proved recently by Aharoni and Berger. We prove that this conjecture is true whenever one matroid is nearly finitary and the…
We give an elementary proof of the Kontsevich conjecture that asserts that the iterations of the noncommutative rational map K_r:(x,y)-->(xyx^{-1},(1+y^r)x^{-1}) are given by noncommutative Laurent polynomials.
Ordinary orthogonal polynomials are uniquely characterized by the three term recurrence relations up to an overall multiplicative constant. We show that the newly discovered M-indexed orthogonal polynomials satisfy 3+2M term recurrence…
The paper addresses the calculation of correlation functions of permanental polynomials of matrices with random entries. By exploiting a convenient contour integral representation of the matrix permanent some explicit results are provided…
